Code Vein was originally scheduled to release at the end of September this year, but the developer and publisher Bandai Namco has now announced that the action game is now set to release somewhere in 2019.

The game, which is described by the developers as “Anime Dark Souls meets vampires”, apparently needed a little bit more time to polish the gameplay. The development team is led by Yusuke Tomizawa and previously worked on the God Eater games.

Code Vein features a futuristic setting with a vampire race known as the Revenants that are highly dependant on drinking the blood of others. Vein refers to the name of the location, and Revenants who are unable to feed themselves with blood turn into hostile monsters known as the Lost.

Nintendo has been jealous with information regarding the new Nintendo Switch -formerly Nintendo NX-.The trailer, which was released Thursday last week (October 20th) did gave us some ideas on what to expect.

The console as a concept

Much was speculated before the launch trailer. After watching it, it is clear that the Nintendo Switch will be a hybrid console. You can use it at home, just as you would a PS4 or Xbox One, and you can also use it as a portable system. This due to the controllers and the design of the console. Which allows the user to seamlessly attach the controllers to the main, tablet-like, platform and take on the go.

Games

In the trailer, we were able to see a total of five: Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart and a new Mario, The Elder Scrolls and NBA 2K17. There is a lot of speculation around the two third party games. Mainly because both companies -Bethesda Softworks,2K Games- have not confirmed that these two games are a part of the Nintendo Switch library. Despite this, Nintendo has released a list of third party developers that will publish games for the new console. Keep in mind, thought, that the same thing happened with the Nintendo Wii U and a lot of developers dropped out when they saw the console was not selling well.
The “Nintendo Switch Dock”

The little stand seen in the trailer was confirmed by Nintendo to work just as a T.V output and a dock where you put the main console, the tablet-like system, to charge. That’s all it does.

Controllers

A special mention to the controllers, named “Joy-Con”. As seen on the trailer, it is basically one controller, split into two. Both parts can be used independently. Which means that two users can play with one controller. Grabbing it as if was a small Nes one. Nintendo is aiming to a wide variety of customers, so it is possible that, as seen in the trailer, different types of controllers are compatible with the console. Specs
So far, not much is known about the specs of the Nintendo Switch. Nvidia has confirmed that the console will be powered by an Nvidia Tegra chip which, in theory, translates to a performance on par with the PS4 or Xbox One. This leaves the system a little behind in the graphics department, specially with the new Project Scorpio on the way.

How much will it cost?

Nothing has been confirmed yet. But some rumors set the price of the console between 299 – 399 Dollars. Guess it won’t be too long for this information to be released.

Backward compatibility

Nintendo has confirmed that the console won’t be backwards compatible. This means you won’t be able to play your Nintendo 3DS, Wii U, or any other console games on it.

Release date:

Unfortunately the Nintendo Switch won’t be available for this Christmas. The trailer revealed that the console will release in March 2017.

That is, in summary, everything we know so far about the console. More than likely this information will be expanded in the coming days.

Playing video games on a PC has more than a couple of advantages. Some of them include multi-tasking, instant PC games download, cheaper price and a lot more games for free, and more game variety.
As long as computers are expanding to a wider market, PC games will continue to flourish. Here are some reasons why there are still a lot of people who are into playing video games on their PC.

Pros

Multi-tasking – Multi tasking is very possible while you enjoy your favorite PC game. Unlike playing on consoles where you can only do one common thing through it (which is of course, playing), a real computer will allow you to go on with your article, your book report, or your online chat just by pausing your game for a while. It provides convenience if you wish to switch from one task to another.

Instant PC Games Download – Because of the advent of the internet and advanced technology, downloading computer games has become so easy. There are games that will only take a few seconds before you can fully enjoy them on your PC. With just a few clicks away, even your grandparents will be able to successfully install these downloadable PC games themselves. Installation and download are the so easy, you will have your game in just a blink of an eye.

Cheaper in Price and a Lot of Freebies – When you visit any video game retail outlet or even online markets like eBay or Amazon, you will notice that there is really a remarkable difference of PC game prices compared to others. This is because of the licensing fee that is involved when creating video games for consoles. Unlike with console developers who have to pay a certain amount to the different console patent owners, there is no licensing fee at all for computer games.

More Variety – Playing more kinds of video games in your computer is possible because of the fact that the PC is designed to be flexible. Its powerful software is capable to do a lot of things and can carry on a lot of applications all at once. Games are merely executable files in nature and computers are well designed to work perfectly on them.

There are a lot of negative influences fighting pc games bring to the table.

Cons

They inspire those that play them, and by doing so, some might get the wrong message.
Spending a lot of time in a violent environment, even if virtual, one might become violent himself.
Clouding up your mind, if you spend too much time in such a demanding game, you can get confused about the real world and act like it’s the virtual one you are so used to.

Other bad influences include the casual computer-related issues, such as generating an anti-social behavior, ruining the sight vision, and pretty much wasting your time. Of course, the main benefit of playing games on the PC is that you can save lots of money buying other game consoles. With your personal computer, you can watch movies, type using a word processor, and surf the Internet. Some gaming consoles have already adapted the Internet features, but none gets closer to what the PC can offer. In short, with a PC, you already have an all-in-one machine that allows you to take a break from gaming once in a while to focus on other things such as finishing your projects.

It is interesting to see a remarkable development in the world of PC gaming. With the advent of fast paced and visually captivating games, it is important that you optimize your system or custom build your own gaming PC if you want to enjoy the fun. Non gaming PCs do not have the necessary makeup that is required by today’s games. Using your regular PC creates low FPS (frames per second), meaning that your computer games will start working slowly, making you feel like you’re watching a slideshow instead of playing a real fun game. Using a non gaming PC will also cause problems like low graphic output and other similar glitches. Using your regular PC for new generation games often time make your system slower and sometimes you begin to wonder why. Today’s games require more power and hard drive capacity and gaming PCs come with a configuration that avails the computer a large RAM size that will make the computer load quickly.

Until recently, gamers always looked for enormous graphic cards and large RAM capacity. However, as important as these specs are, CPU performance is much more important. Taking the popular game, Virtual Cop as an example, we could see that old generation games had lower graphic quality and they don’t require as access of much information from the hard drive like new generation games.

Their quality comes for a price they occupy huge spaces on your hard drive. Many new generation games occupy memory space in excess of 20 gigabytes. There is a need for constant access of information so that the game play will run smoothly.

To build a customized gaming system, it is recommended that gamers use Intel’s Core i7-4770K processor with a stock clock of 3.5GHz. This processor is not only good for new generation games, it is also rugged and durable. It can withstand extreme working conditions and environment.

It is important to get a very good hard drive when thinking of building a system that is custom designed to suit your gaming needs. Your hard drive should have a large storage capacity and should be able to withstand the pressure of long gaming hours. The Kingston V300 120GB Solid State is often recommended. Like other solid state drives, the Kingston V300 120GB hard drive has no moving parts and is extremely fast. Just changing your hard drive to the Kingston V300 120GB Solid State will significantly improve your gaming speed. Software programs that consume a lot of data are very fast on this hard drive when compared to how they run on a regular hard drive. Many people often ask “How is game performance on a solid state drive?” Needless to say, It is much faster and way better! Your game has to read information from your hard drive when the game data is copied to your hard drive. The Solid State Drive has a faster read time which makes your game more responsive and faster. This is the dream of every gamer. With CPU performance being a very important factor, ensure that you do yourself a big favor by getting a computer with an SSD and Intel Core i7-4770K.
